Preterition Exactly What Is It?

Blog Posted:4/9/2016 11:19:00 AM
pret·er·i·tion
?pret?'riSH?n/
noun
 
  1. 1.
    the action of passing over or disregarding a matter, especially the rhetorical technique of making summary mention of something by professing to omit it.
    Preterition (Rhet) A figure by which, in pretending to pass over anything, a summary mention of it is made; as, “I will not say, he is valiant, he is learned, he is just.” Called also paraleipsis
     
    Preterition In Poetry
     
    One uses a technique to gloss over some element to bring attention to that element.
    Like this(but I know that you can do better)
     
    Let's don't talk about that candidate running for president
    No, he/she doesn't deserve the breathe spent 
    Let's talk about the weather which we can't inflence anyway
    Nor can we persuade a political candidate today
     
    I told you I don't want to talk about what he/she said on the campaign trail
    All those lies that each one of them tells and tales and tells
    Let's talk about open relationship with Cuba and how we can go there
    I don't want to talk about our governor nor senator nor congressman unfair
     
    I hope this helps..
    This is just off the top of my head untouched so I know you can 
    do much better..
     
    Thanks for the entries..If you want to go in and change yours feel free to do so..
     
    Have a lovely Saturday..
     
    Sara

When you left your gate in your gate poem, did you leave it half open or half closed? Why are we always only half way home? At what point in our lives do we exceed the half-way point to heaven? Half crazy is another example in this current political campaign. Jim Horn

Well, when the gate was swinging in the wind because it would not fasten it was sometimes close to being fastened, half-way open sometimes from the wind swinging it or sometimes all the way open from the wind..It has been repaired now and I can fasten the latch to hold it closed..Sara..Thanks for your inquiring about it..

That poem was a cute example, Sara. I already wrote something and hopefully it is not too far off the mark. My spell checker does not even recognize the word Preterition. Even now, writing it in this box, a red line appears under it. geeez. Let me try paraleipsis. Hmmm, same dang thing!!

I had never heard the term but I knew about the doctrine from my teachings through the church and going to Bible Classes but no one told me Preterition was the word to use for the way something was written or someone glossing over someone in a last minute like they did not really want to mention a person, etc. SK
